Update on the Gem adventure . . .
G-bar seemed a bit harsh to me. Could be my technique; I will revisit at a later date.
Safety-bar Micromatic is a definite keeper. Wonderful shave, zero irritation. I used the same blade from the G-bar, still the drugstore Gem blades. Seems bullet-proof as well. I really don't understand why this one is less appreciated than the G-bar. YMMV, I suppose.
Feather-weight hasn't arrived yet.
It's frustrating that there isn't much history to be found on these razors. If anyone comes across some resources, please share them!
